Travis Scott and NAV join forces with Lil Baby for new single ‘Never Sleep’

Travis Scott has shared his first song as a primary artist since last November, teaming up with NAV to deliver the Lil Baby-assisted ‘Never Sleep’.The song – produced by Tay Keith and Grayson, with co-production from Mike Dean – serves as the lead single from NAV’s upcoming fourth album, ‘Demons Protected By Angels’, which according to a press release, will be “coming soon”.He and Scott share the song’s chorus, rapping: “Geeked, never sleep / Stretch a hundred to millions in weeks / Got her runnin’ and ridin’ for me / Where it’s sunny we gotta retreat / Straight from London, she out in the East / Let her shop and she keep the receipts / Don’t you tell him you got it from me / After this, I’ma need therapy.“I been buildin’ up my legacy / Hundreds on hundreds, on fold / I been up so far, somewhere / Stuck at the top and it’s nowhere to go.”Take a look at the lyric video for ‘Never Sleep’ below:Aside from an uncredited guest feature on Kanye West’s ‘Donda 2’ cut ‘Pablo’, Scott has had a relatively quiet year on the release front.

Back in April, though, he appeared on the single ‘Hold That Heat’ alongside Future and 808 Mafia producer Southside. His last headlined release was the double A-side of ‘Mafia’ and ‘Escape Plan’, which landed last November as the first previews of his upcoming ‘Utopia’ album.The rapper is still making a gradual comeback to the spotlight following last year’s Astroworld tragedy, where 10 people were killed in a crowd surge during his headline set.

He’s performed a handful of times since then, appearing at a pre-Oscars party in March and a Coachella afterparty in April, before delivering a public show at a Miami nightclub in May.
